· KRGV (NBC 5)
The U.S. Department of Justice has removed news releases from its website regarding criminal cases linked to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, labeling them as 'partisan propaganda.' This action is part of the Trump administration's efforts to reshape the narrative surrounding the events of that day. Trump has pledged to pardon or dismiss cases for over 1,500 individuals charged in connection with the riot. Additionally, a new $1.776 billion fund has been announced to compensate Trump supporters who believe they were unfairly prosecuted. The DOJ also seeks to vacate seditious conspiracy convictions against certain extremist groups involved in the riot.
